February 2016 AOS Filers

[francais_usa 74]

For those wondering about interview or not, Green card before EAD or not and al those fun things, here's what you can do (though I'm sure a lot of people are disagreeing with me I've been fairly accurate (within 2 weeks) on several cases.

Check the AOS timeline page.

Filter for K1 (or what ever is appropriate) and filter for your local office.

Sort by NOA-1 and start looking at approved timelines.

You'll see if there is a decent change of getting an interview or not (of course you can always be randomly selected). And you can see how many days most cases have to wait between NOA and decision.

Ignore anything before November (lot of these people got hit by the "potential interview waiver"

Ignore anyone with an RFE (unless you got one yourself).

Do this for a couple of days/weeks and you'll see a trend developing for your office. Regardless of whether your case goes there or stays at the NBC, there is a definite coloration between wait time and field office.

Good info, but the problem with this for us is that our local office only approved one case in February with an NOA1 date of end of december. They were approved in under 2 months basically, but I can't find any data from those that filed after. It's like a) people stopped filling in their timelines or b) the local office just got slammed.

What's your local office?

Edit:

Sorry, just saw it is Raleigh.

You're right, there is not a lot of info on Raleigh.

But comparing the official reported times from different local offices, you could get lucky and see it in about 3 months from NOA.

I haven't seen a lot of interviews either.

I've also noticed that a lot of people here don't update their status unless they run in to issues. So with a bit of luck, the rest is already approved.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of info for most of the offices. Newark shows only one application processed for the last 360 days ...

True. I'll just have to wait and see!

Well there's a definite interview for "other visa" in Philly,not like I didn't know that lol and it's usually scheduled around the 3rd month.

K-1!

Really? I must not be reading the processing times page correctly. Also, that is a huge relief to hear as I couldn't really find anyone adjusting from a K1 going through Newark that applied previous to February. Ty!

[Fr8dog 312]

Newark has been processing in order for a while. Looks like about 2,5 months from NOA1 (for non RFE's that is)

Just went and dug through a bunch of timeline's that showed up when I clicked on the Newark office and you're right. Thanks again .

I can't figure out the one for Dallas though

[Abby&Colin 40]

New Hampshire Manchester office has literally nothing there is a few people now but doesn't really give me an idea how fast or slow things are going. Hoping we get info soon looks like I might here something in the next two weeks since that's about a month after my bio appointment !

[EandM 20]

I wish I could find more info about adjusting from F1

[Fr8dog 312]

approx 3 months (though it seems to be going down) As long as you have no RFE's

I got no RFE so that's a good sign
